BANGOR, Maine — The Redeemer Lutheran Church opens a new program for children ages birth to 6 years. Using Musikgartenâ€™s internationally acclaimed program â€śGodâ€™s Children Singâ€ť, Redeemer teaches Bible stores through music-play. Children, along with their parent/caregiver, will sing, dance and play rhythm instruments around the stories that are the foundation of our Christian Faith. Music Director Michelle Dokka, leads the class. Dokka has taught â€śGodâ€™s Children Singâ€ť as well as other preschool music programs for more than 10 years. Dokka says â€ślearning Bible lessons through music is as natural as learning ABCâ€™s and counting through musicâ€ť. She goes on to say that studies show children who sing their faith are more likely to be involved in a church community when they grow up. The 30-minute class is offered at 9:45 a.m. Sundays and is open to all families of the Bangor area. For more information, call 945-3166 or visit zumpe.musicteachershelper.com.
